reaching specific servers and/or gateways on the subnet in question. To use
ping:

2. In the Host Address field, type in the IP address or website you want
to test against and then press the Ping button.
3. If there is an error in the delivery to the destination, the ping
command displays an error message. Otherwise, replies will
continuously display for each packet successfully sent and received.
